Baby Jenner is getting BIG!


I had my monthly doctor's appointment this morning and the doctor says that we're doing great! I am 25 weeks and a few days along now. I am really happy that I've gained less weight this time around. I gained about 60 pounds with Rowen...I was miserable and HUGE! I was sick the first 3 months and my body didn't adjust to the pregnacy very easily. With Jenner, I feel so much better. I had little to no morning/afternoon sickness and have only gained approximately 18 pounds so far. Babies at this time average about 13 1/2 inches long and weigh approximately 1 1/2 lbs so baby is getting big. Jenner is definitely a mover. He has moved, kicked, and flipped around more than Rowen did when I was 25 weeks along. Even the ultra-sound tech that did our last ultra-sound at 23 weeks had to be quick to get his picture because he was all over the place and said his heart rate of 167 proved he was a busy little guy. All is well and we are really excited to meet baby Jenner in June or July!

Easter 2010










Sunday morning when Rowen woke us we told him to go in the livingroom and see if the Easter Bunny left him an Easter Basket. He was so excited, he ran into the living room to check. The Easter Bunny had left him a basket with toys and candy. He then went outside in the backyard for a little Easter Egg Hunt. He had so much fun and really enjoyed opening the eggs with Daddy to see what was inside. He also loved that he got to eat jelly beans and chocolate for breakfast!

Another Hospital Stay





Rowen contracted Strep Throat and a minor case of Bronchitis last week. He had a temp of 103.9, poor little guy. We made sure he was drinking plenty of fluids but his little body just couldn't hydrate itself with such a high fever so he was admitted into the hospital for dehydration. They were afraid he had pnuemonia but thankfully the chest x-rays showed he didn't. He was admitted on Monday morning at 10:45 am and released at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. He's back to normal and doing much better this week!
